Animals have always been a huge priority throughout my life! I grew up taking care of many litters of puppies with my father, all descendants of the very first dog that my parents had when I was a newborn baby. I've always had multiple pets in the home that were my partial or full responsibility, and I've even lived on a farm! I've owned and cared for dogs, cats, horses, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, turtles, rabbits, snakes, fish, birds, cows, pigs, ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, and even peacocks. I have been and always will be an animal lover.
